CHURN-POWER.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 232,451, dated September21, 1880,

Application filed June 5, 1880.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HILRY BROWN, of BowlingGreen, in the county of Warren and State of Kentucky, have invented anew and valuable Improvement in Churn-Powers; and I do hereby declarethat the following is a full, clear, and exact description of theconstruction and operation of the same, reference being bad to theannexed drawings, making a part of this To specification, and to theletters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure l of the drawings is arepresentation of a front view of myimproved churn-power, and Fig. 2 is a side view'of the same.

I 5 This invention has relation to improvements in churn-powers; and itconsists in a certain novel construction of a base-ring adapted to bepassed over the top end of a churn and carrying the operative mechanism,as hereinafter fully shown and described.

In the annexed drawings, the letter A designates a metallic ring ofsuitable strength, to the outside of which are secured the uprights B BB, arranged at the three angles of an isosceles triangle, whereof thebase is the diameter and the sides chords subtendingarcs of ninetydegrees. The upper ends of the uprights B B B are connected together bya platform, (3, in which is made a perforation,

a, for the passage of the dash-rod a. The

uprights B B are additionally braced by the bar I), and the upright B isvertically slotted, as indicated at c. In this slot 0, near its upperend, is journaled a master-wheel, D, con- 5 nected by means of anendless belt, E, to a (No model.)

smaller pulley, F, secured on a crank-shaft, G, having its hearings inbar I) and extending through the slot 0 aforesaid.

The shaft G, between the uprights B, B, and B, is provided withafly-wheel, H, anda crank, 4.0 J, to which is connected a pitman, K,extending upward through a slot, 61, in the platform 0, and connected byits bent end e to the dashrod aforesaid. The master-wheel is operated bymeans 'of a crank, L, and through the 5 crank-shaft and pitman aforesaidconveys a vertical reciprocating motion to the rod of the churn-dash.

It will be observed that the ring may be passed over the upper end of abarrel-churn, 5o which,increasingin diameter from above downward,necessarily causes the said ring to bind and thus support thesuperstructure.

WVhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The churn-motor consisting of the ring A, the uprights B B B, theplatform C, connecting the upper ends of the said uprights, thecrank-shaft G, havingfly-wheel H and pulley F, the pulley D, endlessbelt E, and the pitinan K, extending up through the said platform andconnected to the rod of the dasher, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.

HILRY BROWN.
